Katie Fones

★★★★★
"Katie came highly recommended to us by a friend who had sold her house with Katie's great service. Katie was very thorough in explaining all phases of the process to us. She was especially great at working with us from 2000 miles away as we had to move before we sold the house. We felt she gave us the same attention as we would get if we had remained local. She was excellent in communicating with us. We know she had other client's but she made us feel we were a top priority for her. She was great in helping us review and select offers. She helped us tremendously in selling our house at a price we were happy with and in a short time frame. We highly recommend Katie for her knowledge, experience and service. "

"Katie is amazing! We were first time buyers and she was very patient with us - it took us a whole year to find the one and she never rushed us. Not only that she really took the time to understand what we were looking for and was very respectable with our budget. She guided us through all the details and was very prompt in communication and persistent with making sure we got all the information we needed from sellers when making a bid. We would highly recommend her if you're looking to buy a home in San Francisco!" - Charlene W

★★★★★
"Katie was an incredible agent. She is genuine, responsive, and tactful - I had a real feeling of trust working with her and knew she'd always give me the most constructive advice possible. Her background in law added depth and dimension to her already expert knowledge base in real estate. I also admired her deft handling of all the different personalities and dynamics that come up in a real estate hunt in one of the most intense markets in the country! Three cheers for Katie, I highly recommend her!" - Robin

★★★★★
"Simply put, we wouldn't be in a home without Katie's expertise and assistance. The market in the Bay Area has been extremely competitive (to put it lightly) of late, but Katie remained committed and dedicated to us as we worked our way through multiple offers on multiple homes. She was extremely prompt, accommodating, and precise with us, and without her input, we'd have been totally overwhelmed in our home search. Further, she was a great person to work with who really helped us through all the ups and downs of the home search process. We'd highly recommend Katie to anyone else looking to buy a home in the Bay Area." - Jason

★★★★★
"Katie is awesome. She knows so much about the market, and she was so patient with us as our search evolved--it took about six months, and we changed our parameters a few times, and she was helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable about everything. She helped guide us through some competitive offers in this crazy market. She's so knowledgeable about the market and has done so many negotiations; she gives really realistic feedback. I have already recommended Katie to friends, and I would recommend her any day." - Anna

★★★★★
"You cannot go wrong with Katie as your buyer agent. She is exceptionally professional, polite, responsive, attentive, reliable, punctual and armed with plenty of local knowledge about San Francisco area. We were looking for a house in San Francisco and Marin county and Katie has been our agent for the former. She was quick to arrange showings and provided valuable advise. She was persistent and skillful in the negotiations with the sellers providing us with the information necessary to make better decisions." - Alexander

★★★★★
"We had used Katie to purchase our house and when it was time to sell there wasn’t any hesitation on our part that she would be the one to handle the transaction. We have now worked with her as both buyers and sellers and both times the process has been incredibly easy and seamless. I am typically a very stressed person but I was as stress free as could be when selling our house knowing that Katie was managing the entire process. We are now working with Katie to find our next property and she is always available via text or calls and is incredibly flexible about getting us into showings. We highly recommend Katie!" - Katelyn

★★★★★
"We were connected with Katie through the recommendation of other buyer's. When we first contacted her, she was able to set up showings for us within a couple days and she was incredibly flexible with our schedule and the real estate showing requirements during COVID. We valued her input and knowledge throughout the process and really appreciated her guidance in putting together offer packages as first time home buyers. Katie made our process smooth and painless and never failed to quickly respond to texts, calls, or emails. We highly recommend Katie!" - Laurel

★★★★★
"Katie was always responsive on email and texts and had deep knowledge of the inventory and the overall process of buying a home in this competitive market. She communicated quickly with sellers' realtors, lenders, and the title company. She clearly had a good relationship with all parties which smoothed the process considerably, making all our interactions pleasant. She was a pleasure to work with, and we love our new home." - Susan

★★★★★
"Katie was great helping us buy the house, so when we needed someone we trust to sell the house we didn't hesitate to ask Katie again. We were out of town during the whole process (clean/stage/list/close), and Katie handled it flawlessly for us, going above and beyond to make sure we could move fast to get the place ready for sale. Katie recommended really good stagers/handyman/vendors, and we were really happy with how great the place looked. I'm sure that was a big reason why we were able to sell the place so quickly (offers within first couple days of listing)." - Norris

★★★★★
"Katie Fones was delightful to work with as well as being highly knowledgeable and extremely skillful in her professional abilities. She created and implemented a strategic and successful plan for marketing our condo that resulted in a quick sale above the listing price." - Ginny & George

★★★★★
"Throughout it all, Katie was proactive, incredibly responsive, and always accelerated getting us what we wanted. She even went above and beyond by coordinating some minor repairs post-closing with the seller’s agent. We’re glad we met Katie and couldn’t be happier to be in our new home!" - Catherine

★★★★★
"We felt very blessed to have Katie helping us through the home-buying process. She went out of her way to work around our schedules and was readily available to talk out questions and concerns. She made sure to understand what we were looking for and was attentive to any changes. Not only did she provide excellent service, but it was truly a pleasure working with her. Katie is knowledgeable about the Bay Area market and brings the added bonus of being and thinking like a lawyer. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Bay Area." - Brendan & Jess

★★★★★
"We spoke to several agents before going with Katie. While everyone else was trying to sell me on how much they knew the market, had contacts up the yin yang, and were able to finesse offers just right so you didn’t pay a dime above what would win, Katie told me something very simple... everyone can do all that, but what you want is someone honest and straightforward. I am so glad we met her because she was exactly who she was. We were so impressed with how responsive she was with all our requests." - Kanwarpreet

★★★★★
"Very positive experience. Katie is very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient and she’s willing to go the extra mile. She takes things as they come - as unpredictable issues are bound to come up during a sale - and has lots of contacts to deal with said issues. She made the experience as painless as was possible seeing it was complicated by the sellers going through a divorce." - Diane

★★★★★
"Katie was really helpful and patient as we worked to find and purchase our first home. We were working on a budget and time crunch and Katie helped ensure we could get a house we wanted in the time frame we were looking for. We ran into issues during our closing week and Katie coordinated and helped us get in touch with the relevant parties so we could close on time." - Asmara & Erik

★★★★★
"It was a pleasure working with Katie to purchase our home. My wife and I searched for homes from Hayward to Richmond until we finally settled on a home. Katie was responsive, well informed, honest, and all in all a great person to work with. We had a few hiccups (not her fault) during the process and Katie was very attentive to explaining the situation, offering next step options, and explaining realistic comparisons to how normal the situation is/isn't. I would highly recommend Katie for anyone looking to purchase a home in the bay area." - Zack & Jojo

★★★★★
"We worked with Katie for over a year to buy our new apartment. I can’t have enough positive thoughts about her. She is intelligent, patient, good listener, and very committed to her clients. She really tried hard to understand our needs and desires and patiently worked with us to find the right apartment. She is friendly, articulate, honest, has integrity and is an absolutely gem of a real estate agent. She will move mountains for a client. Strongly recommend." - Ani

★★★★★
"Excellent service. This was our first time buying a home in the USA, but we felt confident throughout thanks to Katie's advice and guidance. She went above and beyond every step of the way. Gave great advice on the local market (Sunset, SF), which she obviously knows very well. We will definitely use Katie again and would have no hesitation in recommending her to our friends. Thank you Katie!" - Kevin

★★★★★
"Katie was fantastic to work with. She listened to our requirements, offered thoughtful and creative solutions, was well organized, and maintained a highly professional and positive attitude throughout our buying process. She gave us great advice and was very easy to work with. If Katie is still available when it comes times to sell the place she helped us buy, we will definitely use her!!" - David

★★★★★
"Working with Katie was a dream as first-time homebuyers in San Francisco. Katie's 2 main traits that made us feel well taken care of were her responsiveness and knowledge of how to navigate the process. We started looking for properties back in November 2019 and when the perfect condo for us came available in February 2020, we were prepared to put in an offer, have it accepted, and closed the same day shelter-in-place went into effect in San Francisco on March 16. Katie guided is through the process, answered everything thoroughly and deferred to financing experts and a lawyer when it was appropriate in our purchase. I compare our experience with Katie to our friends' and families' and ours seems like it was comparatively easy which I think was directly attributable to Katie's skill in advising us and moving quickly! Thank you again so much for the help, Katie! We can't recommend you highly enough!" - Mike & Mark

★★★★★
"Katie was always available at anytime of day or night to take our calls, texts, and emails. She showed us multiple condos and homes within the City and ultimately helped us land our dream home over in the Berkeley Hills Area. She was very easy to work with and very knowledgeable with the home buying process. She and her team were there for every inspection when we went into contract. Highly recommend working with her in finding your next place you will call home." - Phillips

★★★★★
"Had a wonderful experience with Katie. She was very resourceful and helpful even as we were searching the WHOLE Bay Area (SF, San Mateo, East Bay). Extremely patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with!" - Alice

★★★★★
"Katie sold my previous home and found and helped us by our present one. She was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She listened to my needs and concerns offered me excellent advice from her own experience and let me make my own decisions. I could not have gotten two smoother transactions. She was there every step of the way. Thank you Katie." - Vartan

★★★★★
"Buying a home, especially for the first time, can be a very stressful experience - so we're glad we were able to work with Katie, who was highly communicative and willing to help explain and elucidate anything we found confusing. She took great care of us, and was very helpful when it came to putting together a competitive offer on a place with multiple bids. Would recommend working with her!" - Max & Minday

Katie made this process simple, painless and even enjoyable for us. We highly recommend her!" - Jenny & Jeremiah

Katie is down to earth and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients have the best chance to find their dream home.

We recommend Katie to all prospective Bay Area buyers and sellers." - Kate & Roger

★★★★★
"Katie is an amazing real estate agent for both experienced and first time home buyers! I worked with her over the last 6 months in order to find the perfect condo in SF. She is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and connected. The home buying experience would have been a lot more challenging and frustrating had I not had the opportunity to work with Katie. Overall, if anyone is looking to buy or sell, we would highly recommend Katie!" - Pooja

"Responsive and exercised good judgment throughout. Helped us put together a winning bid and find the right mortgage lender. Understood how to work within our budget and toured with us when needed." - Drew & Maria

★★★★★
"Katie was a great realtor and we’d happily recommend her to anyone looking. She was patient and informative when we first looking and then she was really responsive and helpful during both the offer and post-offer process. She helped us set a good bid and never pressured us to go higher than we were comfortable or faster than we wanted. She was always very good at helping us understand our options and risks. Loved working with her and would definitely recommend her to others!" - Anne & Suzanne

★★★★★

In addition to masterfully helping me navigate the buying process, Katie also helped arrange a cleaning after we noticed that the property was not clean after the previous owner moved out. Overall very responsive and easy to work with." - Leon

★★★★★
"Katie is a rock star! She helped us found our perfect home in SF over the last two months. She is highly responsive, listens to our needs, and is great at negotiation and connecting with sellers. We couldn't have secured the home at this price or work through the closing process this smoothly without her help. If anyone is looking to buy or sell, we would highly recommend Katie." - Jiada

★★★★★
"Katie and Michelle did an amazing job. I reached out to them saying I was interested in a particular unit, and they immediately got back to me with details of the listing, called the listing agent, etc. When that place ended up not being a great fit, they regrouped and came up with a ton of off-market listings. Within a month of starting my search, I found my dream home that had all my 'must-haves'. Katie and Michelle were super proactive, answered all my questions within a few hours of asking (or sooner!) and walked me through the escrow process. I felt like they really listened to my wants and were never pushy with me. Seriously, I recommend them to everyone who is in the market." - Tiffany

★★★★★
"Katie has been great to work with, we found the right place and the transaction went off without a hitch. Not much negotiation was required in this transaction, but every thing about the transaction ran smoothly. Katie was also fun to work with!" - John & Lisa

★★★★★
"Katie is wonderful. She pays attention to the details. During our signing, she happened to notice a detail that might save us thousands on later repairs we knew we would have to make going into the purchase. Even if it doesn't work out in our favor, the fact that she saw that tiny details was wonderful and I feel so much better having her on our side. She is totally responsive and willing to work with us on our timeline. I would recommend Katie to anyone." - Ariel

★★★★★

★★★★★
"We’re first time home buyers and we just closed on a two bedroom condo in San Francisco—a dream that took years in the making. We wouldn’t have been able to make it through the journey without Katie, and we’ll always be grateful for everything she did to advocate for us! Katie keeps it real—I have the highest regard for her as an agent, and she’ll be the first person I call if the time comes for us to make another move." - Tom

★★★★★
"Buying a home in San Francisco is not for the faint of heart, especially if you’re a first time homebuyer. My partner and I met Katie a few years ago when we were only casually looking for a home and she stuck with us until we were ready to get serious. From day one, she has been a pleasure to work with and has helped make the process as smooth as possible. In SF, it takes persistence to buy a home. Katie worked tirelessly through multiple offers. When we didn’t succeed, she picked right up, found more homes, and started the process all over again. When we finally got an offer accepted, Katie didn’t stop working for us. She went above and beyond to get things back on track when our lender dropped the ball during our closing. I cannot thank Katie enough for getting a few newbies through the crazy SF homebuying process and wholeheartedly recommend her." - Jake

★★★★★
"I feel very lucky that I've met Katie as an agent who helped my home purchase. Katie is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly agent.

I highly recommend her as a realtor if you plan to buy a home in SF." - Jeong

★★★★★
"Katie is amazing. She was incredibly pleasant to work with from the moment we met her and highly knowledgeable about San Francisco neighborhoods and trends. We're first-time home buyers and confident we wouldn't be living in our new beautiful home without her help navigating the market and providing great guidance to make it happen. She was with us every step of the way, always willing to put in late hours to help ensure everyone had the information they needed and we could move forward to close. We're so fortunate to have found Katie and would HIGHLY recommend her if you're looking to buy a home in San Francisco.." - Jessica

★★★★★
"Working with Katie was the best part of buying a home! She is super knowledgeable - she knew about all of the buildings we were considering. Most importantly for us, she was able to explain the pros and cons of each as it related to our specific criteria. She worked to understand what we wanted (even when we weren't entirely clear!) and never pushed us. Her calm demeanor was helpful when we ran into issues during the purchase and I know her great relationships helped smooth things over. And, she was a great advocate for us with our lender and title company. Plus Katie is great fun and personable and and kept us on track (and sane!).." - Brian

★★★★★
"I worked with Katie to find and purchase a condo in San Francisco. She worked tirelessly to find the right place. I am very particular and as a result Katie probably showed me 30 different properties over a two month period. She submitted offers on several different properties which were not accepted. However, she never gave up and finally found the place for me. After the offer was accepted on my condo Katie went above and beyond to make sure the sale was complete. I would give Katie my strongest recommendation. You will never find a better real estate professional." - Ray

"Katie helped us with buying a property. She had previously helped another buyer in the same building so she had great knowledge of the property and helped us throughout the process. She was easy to work with and respected our needs and requests. We wanted minimal help while we were looking and she respected that, only stepping in when we were ready to make an offer. It was a pleasure working with Katie." - Sihan

Katie is super responsive and willing to talk through various alternatives and strategies in planning bids and approaches to take with sellers. Katie put in a lot of effort to find the houses that would fit our criteria and made sure to get the inside story and jump on places that looked promising. We found a great house that will work well for our family for many years to come and we really appreciate Katie working so hard to make that happen." - Alex

★★★★★
"Katie was a thoughtful and engaged realtor. By closely listening to our likes and dislikes, she was able to identify multiple properties that fit our criteria. She responded quickly when we became interested in placing an offer on a place. She guided us through each step of the offer process, including identifying comparable properties to determine the ever-so-tricky competitive offer. Thanks to her connections, we were the first to make an offer on our now home, which was quickly accepted without a bidding war. While in escrow, she worked diligently with our loan team and the appraisers to make sure everything was accounted for. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we were able to close on the property a week early, saving us costs on the loan and rent. All around, Katie was fantastic and we enthusiastically recommend her to any prospective home buyers." - Lisa

★★★★★
"What an amazing and pleasant experience was to work with Katie. She handled a very difficult purchase with graciousness, kindness, and an impressive over-and-above thoroughness. I did a 1031 exchange and she was on top of the calendar making sure that we wouldn’t pass any of the due dates. On top of that, she had to work with a not very reliable listing agent but she stood there and got a great deal and on time! Thanks for your professionalism and real state knowledge." - Mercedes

She was patient and provided expertise, advice, and guidance along the way. In the end (even when we didn't think it would happen), we ended up finding our dream home. Katie was a key reason why and was the utmost professional through it all. If you are looking for a home in San Francisco, you definitely want Katie on your team." - Nikki

She helped us navigate through the complicated home buying process in a very competitive market, and also provided good recommendations on various services we need (mortgage, insurance, etc.).

"I met Ms Fones at a condo project in San Francisco. I actually didn't like the units there but she quickly showed me other places near by and one, a penthouse, was perfect!

Great agent with killer instincts - highly recommended!" - Bob
